With EVE Analytics, customers receive a monitoring solution for their production facilities – via PC, smart phone, or tablet – and can enhance the output of their equipment with real-time responses.

The advantages of EVE Analytics:

• Reduction of downtime for machinery and equipment via Predictive Maintenance
• Enabling fast responses based on targeted real-time notifications and site-independent status updates
• Efficient monitoring of production facilities and processes with data analyses and performance-based dashboards based on big data algorithms
• High data security with encrypted communication

Dashboards for better monitoring of production facilities

The flexible dashboards, which provide cross-location and cross-platform visualization, can be created easily and for users with various access rights. This way, the performance-based overview of the connected equipment and production facilities is in line with the demands. Employees receive notifications based on big data and error reports relevant to their area of responsibility.

Data analysis enables predictive analytics

EVE Analytics performs an automatic data analysis regarding the interdependencies and deviations from the optimal settings. The resulting findings are helpful for diagnostics and error prediction and ensure the constant increase in output of the equipment via predictive analytics.

High data security through on premise solutions

The communication between the platform and the equipment is encrypted and takes place on premise if required, so that EVE Analytics provides extreme data security for companies.

The combination of augmented reality (AR) and innovative software enables a new, efficient communication solution: EVE Support guarantees immediate fault analysis and correction for production systems. Employees on site are guided by experienced technicians with the help of remote maintenance glasses and can therefore react particularly quickly to changes. Thanks to its location-independent use, EVE Support is particularly resource-saving and allows the documentation of operations so that solution approaches can also be reproduced in the future.

The advantages of EVE Support:

• Reduction of downtime with immediate support via augmented reality
• Shorter error analysis and examination times with guided problem solution for any employee
• Real-time fact finding with image transmission, visual display of documents, and integrated translation of text instructions
• Secure application in a machine environment with remote maintenance glasses (smart glasses) that allow hands-free operation
• Resource-saving with cross-site and location-independent application
• Reproducibility of solution approaches and efficient employee training with multiple use of support recordings and video documentation

Reducing downtime through fast trouble shooting

With video calls via remote maintenance glasses (smart glasses), EVE Support provides a personal, location-independent and resource-saving real-time support. The employees on-site can fix any issues immediately or send specialists to the site if required. This procedure guarantees short response times, minimizes error analysis and examination times and thus reduces any downtimes.

Maintain perspective with smart glasses

The key advantage of using remote maintenance glasses is obvious: the support employee sees exactly what the on-site employee sees. Even a layperson will obtain a viable customized instruction in the form of visual gestures, live feedback and data overlays. By using augmented reality technology, employees on-site have their hands free and their surroundings in sight, which makes EVE Support especially safe when working with mechanical equipment.

Effective training through service documentation

Support services are documented by video recordings for full traceability. Thereby, service engineers can be trained more efficiently, and solution approaches can be reproduced more easily in the future.

With EVE Protect, HAHN Digital offers a customized cyber security portfolio for manufacturing companies with industry-leading monitoring solutions. These solutions help companies manage their operational technology (OT) cyber security regarding detection, response, prediction, and prevention.

By connecting their production equipment and OT devices, manufacturing companies bring their IT and OT systems closer together. This connection is the first step towards realizing many valuable use cases in digital transformation. Nonetheless, entering the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is accompanied by new cyber security threats. Unauthorized access to manufacturing networks, hacked production equipment, or read out data are only some of the examples that can lead to serious damage.

Assessment and monitoring of cyber security for OT equipment

EVE Protect provides automatic and continuous analyses and assessment of OT and IoT equipment’s firmware. This solution system is based on the combination of two products of our partner company Cybellum: Cybellum V-Ray and Cybellum V-Monitor.

Manufacturing companies often integrate third party OT equipment to their facilities, their (local) IIoT network or even their products. However, insights to the providers’ software architecture are rarely provided. Without access to the source code of the built-in components, companies have to rely on the cyber security competencies of their providers. Therefore, it is difficult to run a comprehensive risk assessment.

Previous monitoring solutions like the manual verification and assessment of each component are not scalable in times of increasing networking and are merely a snapshot in the highly volatile environment of cyber security. If a device was secure before its integration into the equipment, new weak points or attack techniques can pose a threat to it afterwards. Only through the constant live monitoring of OT security, every deployed component can be protected from new threats. Machine learning helps the software to improve itself with every newly discovered or disclosed weak point. EVE Protect enables companies to act early on these issues instead of merely reacting to them.

Cybellum solutions provide the following joint advantages:

• No integration effort and no device risk with agent-less approach – no code is being installed on the device
• Infinite scaling, since the platform can scan and process all kinds of devices
• Low investment of resources and no safety experts required due to automatic end-to-end process
• High data security due to local offline supply – no data will leave the company

Cybellum V-Ray™

Cybellum V-RayTM offers complete transparency and risk assessment at the time of the integration phase based on an automated monitoring for weak point identification.

The monitoring software reconstructs and scans the OT/IIoT devices’ firmware for security weak points and threats, it imitates the approach of attackers, and provides a complete overview of the scanned device. This makes it possible to assess the risks of the new devices, to fix any issues and to safely integrate and release the device in the company.

The core competencies of Cybellum V-RayTM

• Increasing cyber security by extensive review of a device’s firmware before its integration
• Very wide range of application even with closed firmware, because no access to source code is required

Cybellum V-Monitor™

Cybellum V-MonitorTM constantly monitors every scanned device for new weaknesses and threats from public and private sources. The monitoring software is integrated to the inventory management system: the platform automatically monitors new weak points and matches new cyber security risks with the available data from the devices. As soon as a security risk that needs attention occurs, Cybellum V-MonitorTM alerts the persons responsible.

The core competencies of Cybellum V-MonitorTM:

• Guarantees high cyber security with constant monitoring and automated patching of firmware
• No network load with software backend device imitation
• Rapid response to identified security gaps by means of constant analysis and monitoring as well as active alerts in case of security alterations
